That is the company that supplies the Qualcomm Gobi3000 dual-mode GSM / CDMA radio on this tablet, you notice, which ought to be a pretty option for business travelers — though we do not see any mention of it within the first three Elitebook 2760p models confirmed on HP’s website.

The Elitebook 2760p is a new convertible computer from HP, launched around the same time as the 2560p. The 2760p is actually some sort of a replacement for one of the previous convertible computers (2740p, to be exact), but comes with improvements in terms of hardware, rather than with a design and size revamp. So if you’re familiar with the 2740p, you’ll know that the new iteration remains true to the 12.1 inch screen and the 16:10 aspect ratio.

The previous generations had a relatively non-standard 1.4″ PATA drive, which is pretty much the same type of hard drive found in the old Apple iPod’s, the drives being as small as they were didn’t allow for much space and they were also slow (4200RPM). It seems HP’s been able to cram a normal 2.5″ drive laptop drive into the same chassis, so now you get the improved performance and storage capacity regular laptops already enjoy.

The 2760p is a convertible laptop with a 12.1-inch convertible screen that flips around for users to take notes using a pen input. With a 6-cell battery and a hard drive, the laptop provides 8.5 hours of HP EliteBook 2760p battery life.

Even if people think of slates when they hear the term tablet companies like HP are the pioneers behind the original tablet PC concept and don’t want to give up the convertible tablet form factor, especially since business users are still more attracted to them than slates. The latest convertible model from HP is the Elitebook 2760p featuring the latest generation Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs, full voltage version, which is amazing considering the 12.1 inch form factor that makes cooling a full power laptop CPU a challenge.

One of the largest personal computer and laptop manufacturers, Hewlett-Packard, is reported to develop a new laptop and convertible tablet.

Both Laptop and tablet is powered by Intel’s Huron River platform, with HP EliteBook 2760p power supply Convertible Tablet as the official marketing name.

Right now the launch date for the 2760p hasn’t been dictated by HP but you should probably keep an eye on this HP Business listing page for the model over the next few days.
